Check Contents

Review the application documentation and interview the application administrator.

Identify web servers and associated network connections.

Access the application with a web browser.

Verify the web browser goes secure automatically by automatically redirecting the browser to a secure port running TLS encryption, or ensure the port used by the application uses TLS encryption by default.

For tiered applications, (web server, application server, database server) ensure the communication channels between the tiers is also encrypted.

If the application does not utilize TLS to protect the confidentiality and integrity of transmitted information, this is a finding.
